South Africa’s property market is slowly coming out of the doldrums as buyers start arriving into an industry in more significant amounts – good news for owners with property for sale.

Following almost a year of reduction, First National Bank’s monthly house price index has shown nominal gains in housing costs since November 2009, together with prices rising 3,1 percent in January. Taking into account inflation, however, house price growth in real terms is still in negative territory.

Standard Bank forecasts a growth in house prices of between 3 percent and 5% this calendar year, while Absa anticipates nominal house price increase of 6 percent as the gradual recovery of this housing market gains momentum.
